Vol. 463 No. 3
375 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the foreign trips undertaken by him and the Minister(s) of State at his Department since assuming office; the total number of people who travelled on each trip; the names of the passengers; the total cost of each trip; and the sources of funding for each trip. [6298/96]
The information requested is set out on the following schedule.
As regards the source of funding all travel and subsistence expenditure was charged to my Department's Vote with the exception of my trip to the USA from 7 to 13 May which was funded by Forbairt and Minister Deenihan's trips to Paris on 16 February 1996 and USA from 10 to 17 March 1996 which were funded by An Bord Bia. The cost of air fares in the case of EU meetings is refunded by the EU.
